This was truly a sensational experience on a fine Saturday afternoon. Reading past reviews on this pizza shop, I took the advice of not going there during the dinner rush. Its my understanding that this place becomes packed with patrons during the evening. After my pizza experience there, I can understand why. This pizza truly deserves to be in the top tier of pizza shops in the bay area. They can definitely hang with the big boys. I had a few bites of my girlfriends salad and I thought it was pretty decent as well. However, if you go there and dont get at least one slice of pizza, you are missing out. \r

Stopping in for lunch was a godsend. As a recent transplant from LA, I am on a never ending mission to seek out the best pizza places/slice shops in the area. This one is a gem. No, wait, it is a diamond mine! In my opinion, Za Pizza rivals Abbots Pizza in Venice, CA and Lamonicas near UCLA.\r

Also, lets not forget the SERVICE there. Fan-freakin tastic! Im not even being the slightest bit sarcastic either. The guy with glasses (I think he is the owner) is a friendly guy who knows how to treat the customer. He'll make you feel welcome. As a matter of fact, all the employees who were there were nice and very attentive to us, as well as the other customers. I gotta say thanks to Za Boys.\r

I can honestly say that having lunch there brightened my whole day. I almost had to shed a tear. Too bad I don't live closer to Russian Hill, but then again I would only get a bigger pizza gut
